Rapping History

About

While liberal and conservative views of history may clash, now you can learn both views of history on a new website that gives a balanced perspective in poetic and musical forms.

The website, RappingHistory.org, is a new online resource available free of charge to anyone interested in American history. The site presents a dual summary of our nation’s past, referencing two popular history books — the liberal “People’s History” by Howard Zinn, and the conservative “Patriot’s History” by Larry Schweikart and Michael Allen — in a series of poetic segments set to a variety of musical forms.

“The primary goal is to make history more appealing to young people, and perhaps even entertaining,” stated its creator, Paul Buchheit, a Chicago teacher.
